Mr. Kevin McCarthy:

There is a process under way of reviewing the implementation plan for the White Paper with the programme board that is in place to oversee that implementation. Obviously, the original context, as we discussed and described earlier, has changed enormously from when the White Paper and the implementation plan were developed. I do not see 2024 as being realistic in terms of the full implementation of the original plan that was developed on foot of the White Paper publication, simply because of the very significant upscale in numbers. The exercise at the moment is to identify the objectives of the White Paper that can be delivered upon and there is quite a bit of progress being made in that regard.
